A snippet from the brilliance that is this week’s issue of the Onion:
Small Town Holds Annual Gay Shame Parade
Organized every year by the Grand Plains City Council and a coalition of area churches, the Gay Shame Parade has been an annual event here since 1977, the year that citizens first became aware of gay people’s existence.
“To see a whole community rally together like this around a good cause—it’s really an inspiration,” said Ellen Lundblom, a mother of four enjoying the festivities with her youngest son, first-time reveler Timmy, 3. “If I were a lesbian, this would have really made me feel awful about myself.”
“My favorite part was the balloons,” Timmy Lundblom said. “They had all different colors of angry frowny-faces on them.”
Hmm… You know, I think I might have stumbled across a few of these when I was living in Alberta.
I like this part “My favorite part was the balloons,” Timmy Lundblom said. “They had all different colors of angry frowny-faces on them.” Too funny!
Having the float pulled by a tractor is a nice touch.
